Neville's father stood on a Barbados beach thirty years earlier and saw it as the perfect site for a hotel; he never faltered in that dream, and when the property finally came up for sale the one man who could have outbid him was in Brazil and his cabled offer arrived twenty-four hours too late.

Reasoning
Qualifying passage ids [537909] belong to telling lecture nids [1350]. Each listed lecture contributes the selected safe envelope year 1968 (MAX of its non-refuted delivery years); 1968 is the MIN across telling lectures.

Why
Corrects the phase4 L6a envelope on this event from before 1968 to before 1969.
Reasoning
Envelope recompute, arithmetic only. The phase4 L6a row on this event states its own rule: each telling lecture contributes MAX of its non-refuted delivery years, and the envelope is the MIN across telling lectures. Recomputed live over lecture nid(s) 1816 that row cites, MAX(non-refuted field_delivery_year) gives 1969, not the 1968 the row carries — the bound was below its own stated rule and therefore UNSAFE: it asserted the event did not happen in 1 year(s) where it may sit. Same premise, same evidence, no re-reading and no re-judgement; only the maximum was taken correctly. The L6a row stands beside this one (append-only). Ruling: #2235 delta 1, architect 378.
before 10 April 1968
bound
Why
Tightens the phase4 L6a envelope from before 1968 to before 1968-04-10.
Reasoning
L6a envelope tightened to the telling day of nid 1350 (certain delivery 1968-04-10); same premise, finer precision. The phase4 L6a bound on this event is `before 1968`, an envelope over delivery YEARS computed without reading text. Its premise is that the fact is true by the time it is told; on that same premise the DAY of the telling is a strictly better upper bound. Nothing is re-decided — the bound is stated to the precision the evidence always supported. The delivery claim for 1968-04-10 on nid 1350 is held at `certain` by the corpus, which is what carries this claim, and MIN was taken across this event's 3 certain told dates. #2274; the L6a row stands beside this one.

Why
Lane L7 (#2354) re-derivation. Supersedes in substance, not in storage, the refuted-date told claim(s) on this event; those rows stand per append-only.
Reasoning
Re-derived, not walked down. The existing told claim(s) on this event took their date from a delivery claim on node 1064 that the corpus has since REFUTED, so the corpus was asserting that Neville told this on a day it separately says he did not lecture. That is a contradiction rather than an over-confidence, and lowering the confidence would have hidden it instead of resolving it. The refutation stands and the told claim is the wrong side of it. Node 1064 surviving (non-refuted) claim: 1959-11-6 at `certain`. All claims on the node: 1959-11-6 certain; 1969-4-6 refuted; 1959-11-6 certain (preferred). Superseded here: delta 0: 1969-04-06 at `certain` (run `corpus v1 / phase3b`). The telling is dated by its lecture, so with the refuted date removed from consideration the surviving claim is what the telling inherits, at that claim own confidence and no higher.

stated · refuted
Reasoning
|| v1.1/l7/told-close: the delivery claim this was derived from (nid 1064, 1969-4-6) was refuted by the L7 adjudication (#2363). The corrected told claim from the same lecture stands at 1959-11-6. This row is retired rather than deleted so the derivation history remains readable.
